Inexpensive Houskeeing For Those. Who Enter Wedlock A Lesson in How to Buy Groceries and Meats for a Family of Two and How to Furnish a Small Home.

BY E. L. The young woman is fortunate In marrying a man who is evidently careful and saving while he is to be congratulated on securing a sensible and charming bride. When a girl can sew she can certainly save half the amount she would pay otherwise for clothes. Theorists claim that only one-fourth of the income should be spent for rent. When the family is small there is no economy in buying any kind of eatable in large quantities. Personally I find purchasing food in small quantities the better plan. A person gets a greater variety in this way and so does not tire of the one article bought in quantiity. Especially Is this true of the fruit, ic is better economy to pick out single kinds and pay a trifle more than to order by the quart or dozen ( I am speaking of the larger fruit) and find one or two defective because not eaten at once. Better buy daily and get the choicest. The same rule will apply to cereals. Some folks claim that it is more economical to buy in bulk that one pays for the cartons when bought packed. Granted so, but the extra cost is nothing compared to the possible loss of eereals purchased by the dozen pounds, for they may become stale, perhaps damp, and possibly attract mice. Unless a woman does much baking a three and a half pound bag of flour is enough at a time. The cotton bag containing five pounds of sugar is to be rerom mended and a two-DOund bae of salt is sufficient. Spices and condiments in ten cent tins are convenient and will keep fresh. They come cheaper, too, in the end than the loose packages. If many potatoes are eaten then it is cheaper to buy a basket at a time instead of a small measure. Pickles and sauce, if liked, may be bought in large bottles, because the small one cost more in proportion, to the quantity. There is no real economy in buying butter in large quantities when the family is small. I am aware that my opinions are not shared by theorists in house hold economy generally, but I am speaking from the experience of thirty years practical housekeeping for a small family. Witih foods that do not perish it is often an economy to buy in quantity. For instance if one can buy canned goods at a sale and feel convinced that the contents are not inferior to the same article at regular prices, a small stock' may be secured. Again if a woman does much sewing there will be saving of money by taking advantage of the notion sales in the department stores. Cotton, tapes, hooks and eyes, etc., may be bought by the dozen, but in the case of the average edibles. I repeal, buy In small quantities. The meat problem for a small family is not so easily disposed of. A roast that can be enjoyed must be of a fairly large size, and this ordinarily lasts a long time when there are only two persons to eat It. A roast of beef costing less than a dollar should Kidney Cure You Can Bank On Prove the Treatment Before You Pay For It. Your Druggist Ha a Free Sample Package For You.

last three days. It can be served hot

the first day, cold the second and made J over the third time into a curry or some other preferred dish. Save the gravy from the first day for this make over. A porterhouse steak is expensive. I know, but if you can get the first cut where there is little or no thin end, it makes a delicious dish for two persons. Of course, I do not recommend roasts and porterhouse steaks as a steady diet, but there is no reason to exclude them entirely. A shoulder of lamb with the bone removed and then stuffed makes a nice roast and is not too large. If you market freesh, small scraps can be picked out and bought cheap to make into a stew. Calves liver at 23 cents a pound sounds expensive, yet 10 cents worth with a slice or two of bacon tastily cooked will be ample for a breakfast for two persons and will taste much better than the tougher bullock's liver. Lambs' kidneys and bacon make an kidney cut and stewed with seasoning and served on toast will more than make a dinner for two, the cost being about 15 cents. Chickens for fricasee may be considered an economical investment as every scrap may be utilized. In furnishing your home I should advise getting a few good articles rather than many in a cheaper grade. Indeed, persons of refinement do not crowd rooms nowadays; it is considered in much better taste to buy only what is needed. These pieces may be as handsome a3 one pleases, but furniture is not bought nowadays simply to be looked at. The craftsman furniture (not the mission) is appropriate for small homes, in dinning and living rooms especially. In the latter I should lay a good rug nrtH a ronnle of comfortable, roomy chairs, a neat but substantial table not too small for service; a bookcase ana, if you can affqord it and have room for it, a lounge. Later you may add all chairs and a an ii ai i n. . i . i - - stand for a fern.

KENYOH OH THE JOB (American News Service! Chieaeo. June 11. W. A. Kenyon, assistant attorney general who sue cecded Wade Ellis to the title of "trust buster" arrived in Chicago today to file suit against the Union Stock yards company alleging a monopoly. Mr. Kenyon went first before the Un ited States court of appeals in the Pullman inquiry. The complaint is that the stock yards company is maintaining a monopoly of the cattle shipment business of Chicago and is violating the Hepburn act by its relations with cattle raisers and those who pur chase the cattle. "As soon as I file this suit, which is to be vigorously pushed, I am going back to Washington," said Mr. Kenyon. Memory and intellect.

Of Interest to

MILLET AS A CATCH CROP. Useful to Fellow Another or Replace One That Has Boon Destroyed. When a catch crop becomes necessary one of the first that Is thought of Is millet. This crop does not have a high feeding value, as it Is apparently too rich in olL At the same time it is very useful to follow another crop or as a catch crop to replace one that has been destroyed. It matures quickly and, in combination with other feeds, has an undoubted value. There are many varieties, and in gen eral these varieties constitute one of the most important groups of food plants, as they are the staple diet of about one-third of the world's human population. Ia the old world they are grown as cereals, but in America almost entirely as forage. The true millet is sometimes called the broom corn millet. Another variety is the fox tail millet, and still others are the barn yard or Japanese, the African, the Chi nese, the Indian and pearl or cat tail millet The fox tail variety includes the German and Hungarian millets, which are most commonly grown in this state. For several years past there seems to have been a considerable increase in interest in millet as a pasture crop in western Kansas. When sown for such a purpose about twice the usual amount of seed should be used. As it is a heavy feeder and draws upon the nitrogen element of the soil it Is said to be hard on land. Those soils which are best adapted for Its growth are rich in humus. Swamp lands or slough lands and muck soils which can be drained so as not to be too wet are best for this crop, though it may be successfully grown on clay soils which do not get too dry. Clay soils are not good for millet because they lack in humus. The seed must not be sown before the ground has become warm, as they will either fail to germinate or will remain in the ground so long that the weeds get too great a start. If the land is rather thin more seed should be sown. It can be either broadcasted or drilled, but in rich land a smaller quantity of seed may be used, as the plants will till better. Kansas Farmer. OUR BEST APPLE TREE. The Frazer of the Walla Walla Valley. Wash., Is the World's Champion. Experienced growers predict that the Frazer apple tee, growing in the Walla Walla valley, near Walla Walla. Wash., southwest of Spokane, will yield between 150 and 200 bushels of fruit this year, thus breaking its record of 12G& boxes in 1907, the highest production from a single tree known anywhere in the world. The tree bore seventy boxes In 1900, forty-two boxes in 1908 and forty-five boxes in 1909. More than 500 barrels of fruit have been picked from its limbs since it came into bearing in the spring of 1871. The tree was grown without irrigation from a seedling planted by Cantrel It. Frazer in 1806, two years after he settled in the valley. It is fortytwo feet in height, and Its branches spread fifty-seven feet from tip to tip. The trunk is seven feet in circumference at the base and measures six feet six inches just below the first limb, which Is four feet from the ground and measures four feet seven inches. The tree is sound and healthy despite the fact that it has produced fruit every season for nearly forty years. Professor W. S. Thornber, horticulturist of the Washington State college; J. A. Balmer, former state horticultural commissioner of Washington, and It. A. Jones, a practical orchardist of Spokane county, described the tree as follows: "The fruit Is medium to large, roundish, oblate, irregular and slljhtly ribbed. The cavity is deep, broad, russeted and slightly wavy. The stem is short.and heavy. The basin is narrow. IFDK1 On Display

CULTIVATION OF THE PLUM. Spring the Best Time For Planting This Variety of Fruit Tree. Discussing the cultivation and propagation of the plum, a bulletin of the Iowa State college says: The plum may be propagated either by budding or by root grafting. In general practice the former Is the more successful, the worli beiu done at the close of the active growing period, which is usually the fore part of August. In top grafting the plum it is GOLDEN rLCM, From bulletin Iowa State college. Important that the stock and the scion belong to the same or a closely related species. If this is not the case the union is apt to be unsatisfactory and the tree becomes poorly developed and is short lived. For the American varieties stocks of the native species should be used. Miner is highly recommended as a stock for the Americana plums by some of our Iowa growers. Under average conditions spring is the best time for planting plum trees. In exceptional seasons, with a favorable moisture supply, fall planting may be done with success, provided the work is done early, so that the trees may become re-established before winter sets in. Often, however, the moisture supply in the fall is an uncertain quantity, and if the ground Is at all dry the tree which has been recently disturbed is likely to suffer severely during the winter. The distance apart to plant depends somewhat on the variety and also on the type of soil. Generally eighteen to twenty feet apart gives ample room. As fruited at this station and elsewhere iu Iowa the plum shown in the cut, the Golden, is an attractive golden yellow plum, rather large for Its class. It is one of the few varieties having Japanese blood which appear to be well enough adapted to Iowa conditions to merit further testing. The tree is vigorous, comparatively hardy and rather productive. The fruit is sometimes badly injured by fruit rot. Farmers Buying Autos, Not Bonds. WaU street has been . watching with

New York Times. Corn In Mexico. The corn crop is an Important factor in Mexican agriculture. Much of the land is farmed by renters. In Durango, for instance, the renter signs aTontract to give the landowner onehalf the crop clear of all expenses. The corn is husked by men who get 50 cents each in Mexican money per day. By the time all expeuses are paid the renter has little more than enough corn to last him until spring. Then he is compelled to buy of the landowner at an advance of 40 to 60 per cent over prices he receives for his crop of the fall. Prices in Mexico are around GO oeuts a bushel in the fall and 90 eents in the spring. Horse Manure Cast, Cow's Worst. It may be desirable to know the why of the individual richness of the manures from farm animals. The horse is at the tcp on this account. That of the hog comes next. then, that from the ox. The manure from the cow is at the bottom of the list, this being due to the enriching substances in her food going to the formation of milk, leaving the manure comparatively weakened. Home and Farm.
